Unless he learns to shoot 3s, it’d be a long shot.
He doesn't need to be able to shoot threes.
But he DOES need to have some of offensive skillset outside of dunks, and put backs. That works at the college level bur he needs to have a shot, post moves, or be able to put tbe ball on the floor and create his own offense. If he had one of those things along with being am eraser on the defensive end he could possible earn a bench role. But a lot of the things he contributed at the college level are mitigated with the overall elevation in the number and quality of athletes at the NBA level.
For now I'm just ecstatic with his improvement, which to a degree had largely been a byproduct of playing time. We saw it at the end of last year and he probably should have been on the floor a bit more last season.
